As pets age their healthcare needs change. Senior pets are more prone to age-related conditions such as arthritis, dental disease, kidney or liver issues and vision or hearing loss. Early detection through routine health checks allows for timely intervention, helping your pet enjoy their golden years to the fullest.
At our Cairns veterinary clinics, senior health checks include a comprehensive physical examination, blood tests, urinalysis, and sometimes diagnostic imaging, including ultrasounds and X-rays. During appointments our Cairns vets will evaluate your pet’s mobility and weight, and based on the findings, provide personalised recommendations for managing your pet’s health, including any treatment plans, or lifestyle adjustments required.
At Ulysses Cairns vets we know pets are a part of the family and work closely with you to identify any changes in behavior or physical condition, that may indicate underlying issues. With regular senior health checks, we can help ensure your pet stays happy, healthy and comfortable as they age.
